Police said Robinson suffered multiple stab wounds to his face, eye, chest and shoulder. His current condition is not known.

Robinson told police that Banks assaulted him after the two got in an argument on his porch.

Banks reported that Robinson made an inappropriate comment about her children that fueled the argument and the stabbing, Weary said.

Banks is currently being held at the Hamilton County Jail and faces charges for aggravated assault and especially aggravated burglary.
